Pure css close button

Question

JSFiddle

Is there any way to make something like the X on that link with pure css?

Answer 1

Just a thought - if you're not targeting IE7, you could get away with any image being base64-encoded and embedded into css. I'm assuming your goal is to avoid an unnecessary http request rather than to actually make a css button as its own goal.

Answer 2

If you want pure css, without the letter "x"....

Here are some awesome experimental icons that include an "x" in a circle that is made with CSS: http://nicolasgallagher.com/pure-css-gui-icons/demo/

Answer 3

I spent more time on this than I should have, and haven't tested in IE for obvious reasons. That being said, it's pretty much identical.

a.boxclose{
    float:right;
    margin-top:-30px;
    margin-right:-30px;
    cursor:pointer;
    color: #fff;
    border: 1px solid #AEAEAE;
    border-radius: 30px;
    background: #605F61;
    font-size: 31px;
    font-weight: bold;
    display: inline-block;
    line-height: 0px;
    padding: 11px 3px;       
}

.boxclose:before {
    content: "×";
}

Answer 4

Edit: Updated css to match with what you have..

DEMO

HTML

<div>
    <span class="close-btn"><a href="#">X</a></span>
</div>

CSS

.close-btn {
    border: 2px solid #c2c2c2;
    position: relative;
    padding: 1px 5px;
    top: -20px;
    background-color: #605F61;
    left: 198px;
    border-radius: 20px;
}

.close-btn a {
    font-size: 15px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: white;
    text-decoration: none;
}

I Think It Is Best!

And Use The Simple JS to make this work.

<script>
function privacypolicy(){
    var privacypolicy1 = document.getElementById('privacypolicy');
    var privacypolicy2 = ('display: inline;');
    privacypolicy1.style= privacypolicy2;
}
function hideprivacypolicy(){
    var privacypolicy1 = document.getElementById('privacypolicy');
    var privacypolicy2 = ('display: none;');
    privacypolicy1.style= privacypolicy2;
}
</script>
<style type="text/css">
            .orthi-textlightbox-background{
                background-color: rgba(30, 23, 23, 0.82);
                font-family: siyam rupali; 
                position: fixed; top:0px; 
                bottom:0px; 
                right:0px; 
                width: 100%; 
                border: none; 
                margin:0; 
                padding:0; 
                overflow: hidden; 
                z-index:999999; 
                height: 100%;
                }

                .orthi-textlightbox-area {
                background-color: #fff;
                position: absolute;
                width: 50%;
                left: 300px;
                top: 200px;
                padding: 20px 10px;
                border-radius: 6px;
                }
                .orthi-textlightbox-area-close{
                font-weight: bold;
                background-color:black;
                color: white;
                border-radius: 50%;
                padding: 10px;
                float: right;
                border: 1px solid black;
                box-shadow: 0 0 10px 0 rgba(33, 157, 216, 0.82);
                margin-top:-30px;
                margin-right:-30px;
                cursor:pointer;
                }
</style>
<button onclick="privacypolicy()">Show Content</button>
<div id="privacypolicy" class="orthi-textlightbox-background" style="display:none;">

Answer 6

My attempt at a close icon, no text

.close-icon
{
  display:block;
  box-sizing:border-box;
  width:20px;
  height:20px;
  border-width:3px;
  border-style: solid;
  border-color:red;
  border-radius:100%;
  background: -webkit-linear-gradient(-45deg, transparent 0%, transparent 46%, white 46%,  white 56%,transparent 56%, transparent 100%), -webkit-linear-gradient(45deg, transparent 0%, transparent 46%, white 46%,  white 56%,transparent 56%, transparent 100%);
  background-color:red;
  box-shadow:0px 0px 5px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
  transition: all 0.3s ease;
}

<a href="#" class="close-icon"></a>
